Raising a Forest

Illustrator Thibaud Herem is nurturing a homegrown arboretum in his flat in Clapton. With over 30 species of trees ranging from oak to Japanese maple to giant redwood, this is a documentation of his obsession as well as a visual exploration of the beautiful shapes and forms found in nature. Within a personal narrative, this little book includes fascinating information about the trees, the process of planting and cultivating them, and musings on society’s relationship to the architecture of trees.
